    I saw the movie on monday in an advanced screening, I thought it was good. It must of been very confusing to the people there who hadn't read the book though.

    There is also a bionic arm in The Lost Vikings 2 : Norse by Norsewest.

    Time to get the amazon bundle. All 6 for less than $50!

    WOW that's a impressive article. Nice work Mikel. Can't wait to play this.

    MIKEL THAT WAS A TRI-FORCE DERR

    Nice joke about the triforce, I'm assuming that was done to piss Bret off? This was awesome, thanks for putting it together. I think I got most of the references except for some of the Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, and Earthbound ones. The books are great, if anyone hasn't read them and is contemplating picking them up, you should just buy them. They're super cheap on Amazon.

    Surely Gideon's logo is the triforce symbol?

    Damn I got the comics after reading this and they are REALLY good! I'm done with 3/6 and I can't wait to finish them!

    This is epic goodness Mikel and I love you for it. If something happens to your wife, I'll be your backup Jew.

    Wow, I've played most of these games and didn't even notice half the references! I noticed another one though, in Volume 4; when Scott's walking around at some point and a dashed line shows his path (I forget why), the bushes are the same as the ones in Super Mario Bros 3.

  • FunkSoulBrother - August 12, 2010 3:37 p.m.

    I don't want to spoil anything for myself so i can only read to the second page but im getting the rest too.

  • Jacob816 - August 12, 2010 3:28 p.m.

    After reading that there was a StarCraft reference, I immediately went down to Chapters, and bought all six volumes.

  • KnightDehumidifier - August 12, 2010 2:06 p.m.

    Sorry, the reference to The Power of Love comes from the the greatest musician of the 1980s, Mr. Huey Lewis and the News.

    the arm-husband!

  • philipshaw - August 12, 2010 12:09 p.m.

    I spoted most of these except for the stuff that came out before I was born

  • Conman93 - August 12, 2010 10:32 a.m.

    Read the first 2 pages, didn't want to spoil anymore! Good work Mikel. I'm ordering these comics now!

  • Jadernader - August 12, 2010 9:44 a.m.

    Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness... not a video game reference but still a cool refence awesome article btw, little references and easter eggs interest me for some reason

  • Phantom-swordsman - August 12, 2010 9:33 a.m.

    The sword he had in the climax is a reference to Ichigo's sword from Bleach.
